Funny Story…
I met a guy who was a friend of a friend. Physically I’ve never had such a reaction to someone, and I don’t mean xually. Time actually felt like it slowed down so I could take in every detail…
Turned out he was single, and we slowly started talking more and more. Eventually we started making plans together, casually, without any pressure, since it seems difficult to even make friends at 30+ years old. I knew that the only way I’d end up dating anyone was if they were playful and truly friend material. No more a-holes.
He didn’t even know I was single, I guess, and agreed to go UFO watching at a local spot that was known for sightings.
Long story short, we talked and talked and flirted in a warm spirited and twinkling eye kind of way. We didn’t jump, we just observed each other and agreed to do stuff like that more often.
We did. Every weekend and we haven’t stopped for 2+ years. I’ve never been this close to anyone, so effortlessly. I’ve never felt like it was so easy to love someone else. I’ve never felt this accepted by anyone and celebrated. It far exceeds the loves I thought I had once, and it’s been the sweetest and most soul melting experience.
Keep on being open to what’s out there… even if it feels like it’s “too late”. This life is strange and beautiful, and yes, very tough too. The biggest thing my love has given to me is unmatched kindness, and that is what I wish to pass on to you.
